ABOUT US

We are a family owned and run wine business. Fruit for all our wines is sourced solely from our estate grown organic and biodynamic vineyards in McLaren Vale, South Australia.

OUR VINEYARDS

McLaren Vale is our home, where our vineyards are spread across a number of diverse sites and soil types. Our mission is to showcase the region’s fruit quality, varietal expression, and natural diversity.

This is not just another wine club, which is why we’re not calling it a wine club. Think of it more like a social club if anything. Sure, we’ll ask you to buy some Paxton Wines, because that’s where the conversation starts and finishes. But we will also get to know you personally, introduce you to our home in McLaren Vale, teach you about Organic and Biodynamic winemaking, and have a heap of fun along the way. And of course we will look after you with a whole host of member benefits.

OUR CELLAR DOOR

Paxton cellar door is conveniently located at the gateway to McLaren Vale. Housed in the original 1850’s shearing shed, the cellar door is surrounded by luscious sprawling lawns and oozes both charm and character with historic stone buildings dotted around the site.

OUR ORGANIC & BIODYNAMIC VITICULTURE

We believe biodynamics is the most advanced form of organic farming. It uses natural preparations and composts to bring the soil and vine into balance, resulting in exceptionally pure and expressive fruit.

Diversity – natural environments have a way of protecting themselves: it’s called biological diversity. In our vineyards we encourage natural systems to regulate pests and disease. We cultivate microbes in the soil, plant mid-row pastures and native trees, and keep beehives to create habitats for different species and maintain the diversity.

Compost – made off-site to our own recipe, we apply compost in winter to provide organic carbon, nutrient, and – most importantly – the microbes that promote soil health. The soil’s structure is also improved as its ability to hold water.

Preparation 500 – Biodynamic preparation where fresh cow manure is placed into a cow’s horn (a calcium-rich vessel), and then buried over the winter. The manure is transformed into a highly concentrated form of compost.

Soil Health – healthy soil is the foundation of biodynamic farming, that’s why we reject the use of synthetic fertilisers and pesticides that damage the soil’s biology.
